Killed 13 American service members/ Trump: Terrorist has been captured, is being

President Donald Trump revealed that the prime terrorism suspect behind the 2021 Abbey Gate attack in Afghanistan that killed 13 American service members has been captured.

"Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just captured the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity," Trump revealed during his address to a joint session of Congress. "And he is now being extradited here to face the swift sword of American justice."

The suspect was identified as Muhammed Sharifullah, Fox News confirmed.

"And I want to thank, especially, the government of Pakistan for helping to arrest this monster," he said. "This was a very important day for those 13 families, who I actually got to know very well."

The Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members, eleven Marines, one Marine Corpsman and one Marine, defending Kabul's airport, while hundreds of Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan allies remained in the country under Taliban rule. At least 170 Afghan civilians were injured in the attack, according to the U.S. military's investigation into it.

Conservative critics, such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said the withdrawal paved the way for adversaries like Russia to invade Ukraine.
